enYoutube Annotations with Hyperlinkshttp://eparticipation.com/content/youtube-annotations-hyperlinks
<p>I've played around with Youtube's video annotation but not until recently did I discover that it actually allows users to include hyperlinks (why wouldn't it, duh?). In the meantime there are <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HoOCiaxIZF4&amp;fmt=18" target="_blank">a couple of great examples</a> where filmmakers have put together a series of short movies where the viewer decides the course of the story. The concept is obviously not new, but all of a sudden available to anybody and really taking 5min bite-size online video to a different level.</p><p>I really think this would be a great way to present information in civic engagement projects, where participants make trade-offs and see a different course of action depending on the choices they make. Will put a demo together shortly...<br /></p>http://eparticipation.com/content/youtube-annotations-hyperlinks#commentssocial mediayoutubeMon, 22 Sep 2008 17:04:50 -0700chrishaller111 at http://eparticipation.comPolitics on Youtube - the CNN/Youtube debateshttp://eparticipation.com/node/68
